Description

Super Rare Games to Release Limited Physical Edition of Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles on Nintendo Switch Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, the acclaimed dice-based deck-building roguelike developed for the Nintendo Switch, is set to receive a physical edition courtesy of Super Rare Games.

This collectible edition marks a significant milestone for fans who have previously only been able to access the game digitally via the Nintendo eShop.

The release reinforces Super Rare Games’ commitment to preserving indie titles in physical format, offering collectors and enthusiasts another opportunity to own a tangible piece of gaming history. A Limited Physical Run with Collector’s Appeal Super Rare Games announced that only 3,000 standard copies of Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles will be produced for the Nintendo Switch, making this release both exclusive and highly desirable among collectors.

Each edition is packaged with a physical game cartridge, a reversible cover, a full-color manual, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.

This carefully curated suite of collectibles highlights Super Rare Games’ reputation for delivering high-quality, thoughtfully assembled physical releases. Innovative Gameplay Features of Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles distinguishes itself within the deck-building roguelike genre by substituting traditional card mechanics with dice, introducing a unique gameplay system centered on Purification and Corruption.

In Astrea, Purification can heal the player or damage enemies, while Corruption serves as a dual-edged sword, potentially harming the player or healing adversaries.

This dual "damage" system adds a fresh layer of strategy, as players must continually balance risk and reward. Players engage with over 350 unique dice, each belonging to one of three types—safe, balanced, or risky—offering varying degrees of exposure to chance and reward.

The game allows for deep customization, enabling players to modify die faces and shape their tactical approach.

Six distinct oracles, each with their own dice sets, abilities, and playstyles, encourage experimentation and replayability.

Support Sentinels, upgradeable companions with supportive dice rolls, further amplify the game’s strategic depth. Astrea also boasts over 170 passive blessings, categorized as Star Blessings with moderate power or Black Hole Blessings that offer powerful effects with potential drawbacks.

With more than 20 random events and 16 difficulty levels, players can continuously challenge themselves, manipulating both their own dice and those of their enemies to control the ebb and flow of every run. Release Date and Availability The physical edition of Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles for Nintendo Switch will be available for purchase from Super Rare Games beginning May 15, 2025.

Given the limited supply, fans and collectors are encouraged to secure their copies promptly.

This announcement follows a string of successful limited releases from Super Rare Games, further solidifying the publisher’s role in supporting indie game preservation and physical media.
